The Vampire Diaries

Previously on "The Vampire Diaries"...

The travelers are about to make their move.

Their leader Markos is here.

One by one, they've taken over towns

by putting passengers inside of the townsfolk.

I take it back. This is creepy.

We think they're doing the same thing in Mystic Falls.

You're passengered into the body of a hybrid, Julian.

They've started the spell to make Julian permanent.

Unh!

Enzo's dead.

Aah! Unh!

Enzo, I can bring you back. I'll find a way.

And how do you plan on doing that?

Markos found his way back. It's not impossible.

The other side is falling apart.

And when this place goes, you are going with it.

You asked if there was anything you could do about the other side.

Say good-bye to your friends, Bonnie.

The blood of the final two doppelgangers

can undo the witches' curse that prevents us

from finding a home.

We can break that curse.

Wakey, wakey.

Mr... Sikes, head of corporate accounts.

Oops. Sorry about that.

Yeah. Can't have you mumbling any of those

annoying traveler ditties. It's a sure migraine.

So here's the deal.

My brother and my girl have both been kidnapped

by travelers, and I can't seem to find them anywhere.

I mean, like, poof, gone, right?

So besides a completely clueless hybrid in my basement

and a cave full of sleeping travelers, I've got nothing to go on except you,

so I'm gonna need you to tell me where I can find your leader Markos.

What's up, blondie?

Liv and Luke aren't answering any of my...

- Oh, my God! Mr. Sikes? - You know him?

Yeah. He helped me open my first savings account.

He gave me a lollipop.

Well, unfortunately, Mr. Sikes here is occupied by some low-life traveler.

I saw him and his buddies chanting in the town square last week.

I also know that Markos and your passengered comrades

are planning some big flashy spell

to undo some super boring ancient witch curse,

and where that sucks for us,

it just happens to undo all witch magic,

I.E. kill me

and my sexy, blond frenemy here.

If you know where Markos took Stefan and Elena,

you need to tell us.

Yep.

Sorry. You're gonna have to speak up.

Mmm. Nope, nope. Didn't catch that either.

I think he's trying to say something to me.

Come here, sweetie pie.

It doesn't matter where Markos is. Nothing you do can stop him now.

You have... enough.

Let me go.

Aah! Unh! Aah!

I'll have enough when you can no longer speak.

- Who's there? - Shh. Get out of here.

Go.

- Stefan. - Elena.

Seriously? Collect calls are still a thing?

Yeah. Well, you know what could have

saved you the cost of this phone call? You finding us.

- How long have we been gone? - 4 days.

4 days? 4 days, and you couldn't track us down?

What'd you think, we were having a nice spa getaway?

Whoa, whoa, whoa. I've been searching 24/7, ok?

Maybe if you'd been a little more perceptive,

you wouldn't have gotten yourselves doppelnapped.

Oh.

What the hell was that?

Travelers drained us of our blood,

so we've had to do a little bit of hunting.

You have Elena participating in squirrel slaughter?

Believe me, she's no happier about it than I am.

Heh heh. She'll shoot your eye out.

Do you want to talk to her, or are you still pretending

like you don't want to hear her voice?

Don't psychoanalyze me, Stefan.

Where are you? I'll come get you.

I have no idea where we are. We're in the middle of nowhere.

Listen. We'll make our way back, but Markos drained most of our blood,

and considering the kinds of spells he was able to do

- with just a little bit of it... - Yeah, I know.

Find Markos, kill Markos,

save Mystic Falls from becoming traveler home.

It's gonna be a busy day for me, Stefan.

Time to strap on the hero hair.

I'll get her home safely, all right?

Get both yourselves home safely, brother.

I'd hate to have to kick her ass for losing you.

Unh! God.

Forgetting someone?

Bonnie!

He says you promised you bring him back.

Uh, you're paraphrasing.

He said, quote, I will find a way.

Whatever.

Hello. Still here, and I know what I said.

Hey. Remind him he doesn't have a very good track record

- for keeping promises. - Please stop talking.

The other side is on the brink of colapse.

I plan on pestering all of you

until I'm safely returned to the land of the living.

You need to fix this before I lose my mind.

Hey. I'm sorry, ok?

I've got two missing doppelgangers,

I've got a traveler that wants to rid our town of magic,

and I've got the friendly banker Mr. Sikes

in the coat closet,

so escape from the netherworld's gonna have to wait until tomorrow.

I think he wants to be penciled in for today.

Then you bring him back.

What?

Liv is cooking up a spell

to pull you back from the other side before it goes kaboom,

so whatever you're doing, just include Enzo in it.

You hear me, Enzo.

Just hitch a ride with her, ok?

- See? There delegating. - I feel better.

That's not a great idea.

You called.

You. I need you and your Xbox buddy to run an errand for me.

Come on. Let's go.

Well, what are you waiting for?

Ring up your little witchy friend and get her over here.

- Ohh, God. I feel like an idiot. - Ditto.

Do that thing again. The vamp thing.

Oh, no. I don't want to do that.

Come on. You know it's embarrassing.

Come on. It's the only thing that's keeping me sane right now.

Sure.

Ohh.

Hmm. That was funnier the first time.

Yeah. Well, you were delirious the first time.

How many, um... ahem... You know,

are we supposed to have before we get our strength back?

More than we've had, that's for sure.

Let me know if you see a damn buffalo.

This is depressing.

Yeah. More depressing than walking for Miles

and not knowing where the hell you're going?

No, probably not more depressing than that.

Damon is in full hero mode today.

I'm sure he was thrilled about that.

I don't know. He had the whole

savior of the universe voice going on.

I like that voice.

You know, maybe this whole thing's a sign.

A sign of what?

My blood can literally destroy him.

If that's not a sign that we're in a toxic relationship...

Our blood, all right, our blood. Don't hog the blame.

Look. We're vampires. We're a toxic species.

Whether you want to blame it on magic or biology,

it's just who we are.

When a human gets ravenously hungry, they eat a double cheeseburger.

We kill people.

Some of us are more extreme than others,

but that's just who we are.

How come you're so much better at controlling it?

Because I'm so much worse when I don't.

I'm only gonna say this once.

You two are miserable without each other,

so if you want to be with him, just be with him.

Look. When humans want to break free

from complicated relationships, they go to therapy.

Vampires get a pass, ok?

Come on.

I ordered us waffles.

I figured our last meal wouldn't be complete

until we poured liquid sugar all over it.

Mmm. My ray of sunshine sister.

The coven's pissed, Luke.

You were supposed to hide Stefan and Elena from the travelers,

and you practically delivered them on a silver platter.

Ok. How was I supposed to know

that Casper the english ghost would be a complication.

That's not the point.

We were never supposed to let things get this far.

We got sucked into some stupid "let's be friends" trap.

Look. These people are nice, ok,

more than I can say for our screwed up family.

Ohh!

- What are you doing? - It's not me.

Like I said, the coven is pissed.

Fine. I'm listening.

We were supposed to keep the doppelgangers

from falling into Markos' hands.

We failed.

We can't let him succeed at taking away our magic.

There's only one move left.

We have to kill Stefan and Elena.

Yeah.

Morning, Sam.

Mrs. Douglas, special delivery.
